Visibility Sensor

V2S2 Visibility Sensor Accurate assessment of visibility is a critical issue for many applications, such as airports, maritime ports, and roadways. IEM's Video-based Visibility Sensor System (V2S2 offers a completely unique approach to visibility monitoring. Unlike competing products that measure only one factor that leads to poor visibility, the V2S2 literally "sees" in the same manner as a trained human observer, determining the visibility from images. The V2S2 provides direct, accurate, complete measurement of visibility at a lower cost than other complex and less effective instruments. In fact, the V2S2 costs about the same as services that charge for merely placing a camera at some remote location so that paid personnel can make visibility estimations themselves. The V2S2 can perform equally well at night or during the day, and even "understands" that visibility across a wide area may not be constant, and can be programmed to recognize variable visibility conditions and convey this information to appropriate locations. IEM can develop and customize a version of the system for use in any setting where visibility measurement is an issue.
